The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has opened applications for licences to operate up to two liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating storage units (FSUs) in the Republic’s anchorages.<\/p>\n
Existing LNG bunker licensees may partner third-party terminal operators to provide the necessary storage and operational expertise, the authority said in a news release on Thursday (Nov 12).<\/p>\n
It added that most of the FSU’s storage capacity must be allocated for LNG bunkering and that there will be a minimum requirement for capacity that must be made available to other LNG bunker suppliers on open-access terms.<\/p>\n
Those who wish to apply must own or charter at least one FSU with a minimum storage capacity of 130,000 cubic metre, is registered with the Singapore Registry of Ships and comply with MPA’s safety and operational requirements.<\/p>\n
They must also disclose to MPA the intended maximum fees chargeable for LNG reloading services.<\/p>\n
In addition, FSUs must be certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification European Union (ISCC-EU) framework to handle bio-LNG and e-LNG.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“This will enable the infrastructure to support the supply of these lower-emission LNG alternatives as they become more widely available,” said MPA, explaining that this supports international shipping\u2019s decarbonisation efforts.<\/p>\n
MPA will conduct a briefing on Dec 4 for companies keen to apply for the FSU licences, with details available on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n Applications will close on Feb 4, 2027.<\/p>\n The call for applications follows MPA\u2019s award of eight new LNG bunker supplier licences<\/a> in July 2026.<\/p>\n It is intended to support the continued growth of LNG bunkering services in Singapore and strengthen supply resilience.<\/p>\n The FSUs will complement the expanded supplier base by diversifying LNG storage and reloading options, MPA said.<\/p>\n [[nid:747210]]<\/span><\/p>\n editor@asiaone.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has opened applications for licences to operate up to two liquefied natural gas (LNG) floating storage units…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":98984,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2611],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-98983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-buzz-headlines","wpcat-2611-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=98983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/98984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=98983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=98983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=98983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
